everything works and everythings decent but what i want to know is how i would make my superautoshotgun thing shoot projectiles like the missile. ive looked at tutorials but some of them just have a shitload of reading(im not lazy...well sorta but still i just think there could be a way quicker way of showing it of) if you guys could help me with this that would be awesome

What I did was this:

		TNT1 A 0 A_PlaySound("weapons/riotgun/fire", CHAN_WEAPON)
		TNT1 A 0 A_FireCustomMissile("Buckshot", random(1,8)-4, TRUE, 0, -2, 0, random(1,8)-4)
		TNT1 AAAAAA 0 A_FireCustomMissile("Buckshot", random(1,8)-4, FALSE, 0, -2, 0, random(1,8)-4)

The second line is the one that takes ammo. The third line spawns the other 6 pellets.

If you want it to use 2 shells at a time you would change the A in line 2 to AA. That also means it would fire a total of 8 pellets though, instead of 7.

And you want to change the strings so that they point to your own projectiles and sounds, of course.

Here's a super shotgun that shoots bouncing projectiles. The OP in the name does indeed stand for Over-Powered.

The PlasmaBall1 actor that the OPSSGBall inherits from is not the plasma ball shot from a plasma gun. It is one of the 2 types of plasma balls shot by the beta BFG, which shot 40 bouncing plasma balls (20 red and 20 green). Here is the wiki entry for it: http://zdoom.org/wiki/Classes:PlasmaBall1
